A Popularity Project Gone Wrong

Chapter Fourteen

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" I asked Jer as soon as we parked in the Disneyland parking lot. After Jeremy asked me, I wanted to back out. Even though being with Jer will be fun, Cassidy scared me and I already knew she was going to be here. 

"Relax Serena, everything's going to be alright. Disneyland's huge, we probably won't see Cassidy anyway. Besides, what's the big deal with her?-

I didn't even let him finish. "Hello! She posted pictures of me around the school covered in pimples and now half of the school greets me with, 'Hello pimple face, how's life?' Don't you get it?!"

Jer sighed and I sighed myself, I hated fighting with Jeremy. It always felt wrong, but we seem to be fighting a lot these days. "Serena, I need to tell you something."

I looked at him, was this the same thing he was going to tell me before Olivia rudely interuppted? Before he couldn't even speak though, my cell phone rang. I shot him an apologetic look and then I pulled out my phone. Glancing at the ID, I realized that it was Rosalie. 

"Hello?" I asked. 

"Hey sweetie, your Dad and I just wanted to tell you two to have fun and to be back by Midnight for sure okay?" Rosalie instructed me. 

"Sure thing, sounds good." I replied back. 

"Oh and please no alcholol, remember you are underage and it's not good for-

"Don't worry Rosalie, I don't drink and I'm never planning too either" I replied to her calmly. I didn't want to worry her or anything. 

"Good, okay have fun. Bye" Rosalie said before the line went dead. 

Fixing a few strands of my brown hair, I slipped the phone in my pocket and turned back to Jer. "What were you going to say?" I asked. 

Jer looked disappointed and replied, "Uhm, nothing."

"What? What's the matter, just tell me?!" 

"No, i-it-it's not-nothing! Just forget it okay?!" Jer asked me with a pleading look.

Rolling my eyes, I finally nodded and we both hopped out of the car. 

The parking lot was filled with a bunch of cars and then I spotted...

Crap, Cassidy. 

"Woo-hoo! It's the happiest place on Earth!" Cassidy cheered as she hopped out of the car with a bottle of Vodka in her hand. I scoffed, wow that's a nice way to be kicked out. 

"You have got to be kidding me" I said to myself aloud as I watched her stumble on her two feet. 

Jer followed my gaze to Cassidy and her beer bottle which caused him to roll his eyes in disgust. "Let's just ignore her, I want this to be fun."

I nodded. "I agree with you on that one"

Jer and I both went the opposite direction of Cassidy to the main entrace of the Disneyland park. It was beautiful with the lights, giddy children, and the rides in the background. "I love this place!" I squealed happily, "I haven't been here in a while."

It was true, I haven't even realized how long it was. Jer smiled at me and we both hopped onto a trailer. Once we were on and the man was finished giving out instructions, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned to see Kimi and her boyfriend. "Hey guys" I greeted them happily, "How's life?"

"It's amazing, I love this place! I can't get over the fact that it's free for our school! It's so amazing and -" Kimi turned to Jeremy, "Hey, this is Dustin!"

"What's up dude?" Dustin asked happily as he shook his hand. 

"Nothing much, just hanging" Jer answered casually.
